KeyCastr ReviewGreat...but would like bigger text - Version: 0.7.3, 4/22/2008 11:44AM PST

This is exactly what I was looking for. I teach a Final Cut Pro/After Effects class, and to be able to visually see what keys we are using, will be a valuable tool that I will try to incorporate into our lectures.

Is there anyway to make the text bigger? I teach to classes of 40+ on a projector, and to have it bigger would be better.
Thanks for this!

KeyCastr ReviewWorks Perfectly - Version: 0.7.3, 9/14/2007 01:40PM PST

Ok I've seen to discovered what the problem was.
You need to enable access for assistive devices under Universal Access in the System Preferences panel.
I didn't find this under any documentation. Even on the developers site. Hope this helps.
As far as the program goes. It's beautiful. It does exactly what I wanted.
This app in conjunction with iShowU are the perfect combo.
